Have you seen this...

i wonder why the one house, i found on the virtuell puppenhausmuseum, which looks the same like ours, is called "haus karin" and this one, nearly the same is called "villa maria"?! maybe "haus karin" was the simple version (for small purses) and "villa maria" was the version with the higher standard (and more expensiv). i can see differences at the doors (the glas has rhombuses) and the wallpaper is different, too.

i´m very curious how high this auction will end?! it´s not to late to make a bid... also thanks to dirk, who gave me the permission to show his pictures!!

Yes, I actually had a look on ebay.de (mostly I don't, as I can't buy anything at the moment), and when I saw this I thought it was like your house! I think you're probably right that there were different models for different prices which were called different names. So now you know the original name of yours - and very appropriate to make a Villa Mara (& Annina) from a Villa Maria!

Hallo,zu dieser kleine Villa von der Firma Albin Schönherr aus Niederlauterstein konnte man sich einen beliebigen Namen , meist den der kleinen Besitzerin, bei der Firma bestellen. To this small dollhouse from the Albin Schönherr company from Niederlauterstein (Erzgebirge region)buyers could choose the name of the house. Mostly they took the name of the littler owner.
